Middlesbrough vs Plymouth Prediction & Tips
Michael Carrick’s team has suffered two consecutive defeats, against Leeds 0:1 and Millwall 0:1, and now occupies eighth place in the table with 60 points, three points away from the play-off zone. Particularly worrying is the lack of goals: in these two games, Middlesbrough failed to score, and overall in the last five matchdays they have only scored twice.
Nevertheless, home games remain the team’s strong point: 10 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats at the Riverside. Before the setback against Leeds, there was a run of three home wins, including matches against QPR 2:1 and Oxford 2:1.
The visitors occupy the last place, 24th in the table with 40 points. The same amount as Luton Town who are in 23rd place, and are three points off the drop zone. Plymouth are desperately fighting for survival and are doing all they can to stay in the Championship. This is reflected in the results of the last few rounds: two wins, one draw and two defeats; the team does not give up and seizes every opportunity.
On the last matchday, the ‘Greens’ pulled off an impressive comeback, beating Sheffield United 2:1. During the match, Plymouth were trailing, but managed to snatch victory in the last moments, scoring two goals in the final minutes.
